Notes

• ^Note 1 : During the 2nd launch night on the 25th of July, 2021, Big Brother announced that there were 2 fake housemates, called wildcards, that were revealed at the end of Week 1's Sunday show. The two wildcards were revealed to be Maria and Pere that day. Since the housemates guessed incorrectly, no one got evicted on that day.^[11]
• ^Note 2 : For going undetected, the wildcards; Maria and Pere were given the opportunity to nominate the other housemates outside the Head of House for eviction.^[12]
• ^Note 3 : On Day 14, Big Brother introduced 4 new housemates to the Big Brother house: JMK, Michael, Kayvee and Queen.^[13]
• ^Note 4 : Kayvee exited the Big Brother house on Day 22 voluntarily due to health-related issues.^[14]
• ^Note 5 : Big Brother informed Maria that as Head of House, there will be no nominations or eviction in week 4. She was however given a secret task to make the housemates believe that the two housemates who impress her the least will be evicted on Sunday.^[15]
• ^Note 6 : For the week's Head of House games, Big Brother announced that there will be 2 Heads of House.^[16]
• ^Note 7 : On the same day, it was also announced that all housemates apart from the 2 Heads of House would be up for public voting.
• ^Note 8 : Big Brother introduced a nomination twist as nominations were done before the Head of House games and the housemates had the opportunity of saving themselves from the nomination list.^[17]
• ^Note 9 :The nomination twist used in week 7 was reapplied in week 8.^[18][19]
• ^Note 10 : In week 9, Big Brother decided to scrap the Head of House games, replacing them with the Ultimate Veto Power Holder Games. The Ultimate Veto Power Holder not only had the power of immunity from public voting, but they could pick both the Head and Deputy Head of House.^[20]
• ^Note 11 : Also, in the same week, everyone except the Ultimate Veto Power Holder, Head of House and Deputy Head of House were up for public voting.^[21]
• ^Note 12 : Due to an eviction twist on day 63, while Pere and Angel left the house, they have not left the show. A day later, both housemates returned to the house.^[22][23][24]
